Since EA owns the Westwood products and likely all the rights to TS, they probably have final say on the product release rights.
Now unless there was specific negotiated clauses for the actors mentioned I'd doubt many would care for a 25'ish year old game. These among others would just be dropped in the appropriate segment areas of the original game order. So what I'd likely see is a remaster of all in-game assets and perhaps the CGI cutscenes but the actor FMV's likely to remain intact. You can remaster dedicated computer generated cutscenes but really FMV's with actors are done with specific cameras of that era would be hard pressed to increase resolution on. When compared to the C&C/RA Remaster, much of the videos depicting actors have largely been untouched. However, I am not as concerned either because there is very little you can do with preexisting FMV videos produced from the 90s to boost their resolution or otherwise. If James Earl Jones and Michael Biehn were of concern then so would Joseph David Kucan who is known in the gaming world to be the face of Kane in C&C. I agree with you u/deftacts, despite feeling somewhat the same to what u/ghostalker4742 said.
Some remasters do this and it's great (Rome total war remaster comes to mind) A 'classic' version for people that want the original experience, and a 'completed vision' or something that has the changes. Of course there is also another option: make the changes and allow players to choose. At that point it's not modernizing the same game that we've all grown so attached to, it'd be making something new based on the thing we love.
But they were not a part of the final released experience and thus to me they are not and should not be part of tib sun. Other bells and whistles could be super cool, they might've even made the game better. To me, tib sun is what it is and what it should be. Whatever the design doc might have said about features that ultimately did not make it, those are not in the tiberian sun we all got.
However complete or incomplete TS might be, the game we've had for more than 20 years now is the true tiberian sun. Where I and others draw the line is adding new stuff that would affect the gameplay. Fix and polish up all the stuff that did get shipped. I can also see what you mean, and for something like more fancy lighting you could probably chuck that in a remaster no problem.
